About Mr Mercedes
Mr Mercedes adapts Stephen King's Bill Hodges trilogy across three seasons, with Brendan Gleeson as retired detective Bill Hodges. The show filmed the second and third books out of order, so season 2 follows End of Watch while season 3 circles back to Finders Keepers.
Good to know
Season dates: 1 (August 9 to October 11, 2017), 2 (August 22 to October 24, 2018), 3 (September 10 to November 12, 2019). The Audience network shut down in 2020 and the story ends with season 3, so treat any continuation talk as unconfirmed as of 2026-09-17.
